SUMMARY: Bose instability in rotating (Kerr) black holes (BH’s) consists in
exponential increase in time of small perturbations of Bose mass fields, corresponding to superradiative, quasi bound levels. The minimal time of dumping of the
angular momentum on the 2P envelope is much less than the time of dumping of
the angular momentum by superradiation for primordial BH’s when the mass of

The neutral particles produce γ -bursts of energies 67.5, 274.5, 932

1. INTRODUCTION
Bose instability of rotating Black Holes (Kerr
BH’s) is related with an exponential increase in time
of small perturbations of a test mass field, corresponding to superradiative quasibound states with
energies:
E ≤ min{µc2 , h̄mΩH }
(1)
where µ and E are respectively the rest mass and
energy of the particles, m is the projection of the
momentum on the BH’s axis, M and J = M ac
are mass and angular momentum of the BH and the
angular velocity of the BH is written as
ΩH =
ac3
,
2GM r+
(2)
where
1
r+ = GM/c2 + (G2 M 2 /c4 − a2 ) 2 .
On the level of a second quantized quantum field theory (in brief QFT) this corresponds to the occurrence
of spontaneous and induced particles creation proce29

sses on quasi bound superradiative levels. Only spontaneous generation of fermions may occur due to
Dirac exclusion principle, but bosons may accumulate on such levels by induction (or stimulation).
On the level of Klein-Gordon,Dirac and other similar QF equations this corresponds to the fact that
s = 21 , 32 , ... mass equations support only dumping
(Gaina et al. 1980) while the s = 0, 1, 2, .. mass equation may change the sign of the imaginary part of the
energy (Ternov et al. 1978):

E = Enlm − iγnlm ,

> h̄mΩH ;
> 0, for s =
> 0, for s = 0, 1,...and E (0)
≤ 0, for s = 0, 1,...and E (0) ≤ h̄mΩH .
In other words, bosons supports self-stimulated generation (and in consequence -accumulation) on quasi-bound superradiative states (1) in which the wave
function increase as Φ ∼ eλt , where λ = −γ, for E 0
≤ h̄mΩH and the number of particles and the energy
density increase as:

where k(t)

and 1 antiboson will be proportional to the square of
the matrix element

(6)
When N−
→ = 0, this is just the probability of a sponk
taneous generation of a pair boson-antiboson from
which one particle localized on quasibound state and
other inside the BH. Otherwise (6) gives the probability of self-stimulated generation of pairs.
So, one could take into consideration the following equations for the number of particles on the
superradiative levels, mass, angular momentum variations of a BH (Gaina, 1989):

Equation (7) gives the number of particles on the
quasilevel with quantum numbers n ≡ 1 + l + nr , l,
m (nr = 0, 1, 2, ...; l = 0, 1, 2, ...) for scalar bosons.
Generally, equations (7)-(9) are nonlinear, admitting
solutions only in very special cases.
2. BOSE INSTABILITY IN KERR BH’S
Let us restrict ourselves here to examination
only of scalar bosons, as the solutions for the vector
bosons and other boson mass fields are still unknown
in Kerr backgrounds.
As it was shown (Gaina, 1989) only the case
µM MP2 l ≡
h̄c
G
(10)
is of interest, if one excludes the case of very large
µ → MP l . The probabilities of particles generation
were calculated in Gaina et al. (1980) (see also Detweiler, 1980; Gaina and Kochorbe, 1987). The main
contribution to the change of mass and angular momentum of the BH gives rise to the generation and
accumulation of particles on the 2P level. The dynamic equations for the number of particles and angular momentum are (we use below the system of
units c = h̄ = G = 1 ):
dNnp
= λnp (Nnp + 1) ;
dt
(11)
dN2p

while the mass change is negligible.
By using the law of conservation
of total an
Nnp in the system
gular momentum J = J0 −
n
BH+bosons we obtain the law of variation of the
number of particles and angular momentum of the
BH in explicit form:
Nnp = J0′
where
1 − exp − (J0′ + 1) µ9 M 6 t/48
1 + J0′ exp [− (J0′ + 1) µ9 M 6 t/48]
(13)
J = J0 − N2p
(14)
Jo′ = J0 − Jst ,
(15)

Jst being the BH angular momentum at which superradiance at the given level stops. The exact value
of Jst is :
Jst =
4E (0) M 3 m
,
m2 + 4(E (0) )2 M 2
(16)
0
while for the case µM << 1 one obtains:
Jst ≃ 4µM 3 << M 2 .
(17)
Note that the time of dumping of the angular
momentum of the BH into the levels is

which approximately equals

when µM << MP2 l . The mass of the envelope of
bosons on 2P state is △M = M0 − Mst ≈ µN2p ≈
µJ0′ ≈ µ(J0 − Jst ) ≈ µM a0 . It will be much less than
the mass of the BH itself if µM << MP2 l .
The discussion of other details of the dumping
of the angular momentum of the BH, caused by Bose
instability is given in Gaina (1989).
The time of loss of the angular momentum of
a rotating black hole by superrradiation (see Zel’dovitch, 1971) is
τsuperrad ∼ 8πe

(20)
where ξ is of order unity. Then, the ratio
M

M

(21)
may be much greater than unity if M ≫ MP l . We do
not now consider the cases µ MP l , M MP l and
µM ∼ MP2 l . For the latest one we can give some estimations based on analytical approaches developed
in Gaina et al. (1980), Ternov et al. (1978), Gaina
(1989) and Zouros and Eardley (1979), while an exact treatment should be given numerically.
The probability of pair production for the case
µM ≫ MP2 l was calculated by Zouros and Eardley (1979) for scalar bosons and improved by Gaina
(1989) . Tunneling probability near the threshold of
pair production for E µ, a → M (but a = M ),
and l − m ≈ |m − m0 | << m0 = µ/ΩH has the form
(Gaina, 1989).

Here we omit the weaker dependence on the
orbital quantum number and the particle energy. As
m → m0 the exponent in eq. (5) changes into the
result in Zouros and Eardley (1979) to within a factor
of two in the exponent. The corresponding time of
relaxation (dumping) of angular momentum for an
extremely rapidly rotating black hole with unfilled
levels is less than the age of the universe for BHs
with masses µM (23 ÷ 26)MP2 l . The characteristic
range of variation of the specific angular momentum
of the BH is 0.6 a/M < 1.
One should emphasize that thermal effects will
be small
if the temperature of BH:
kTBH = 1 − a2 /M 2 /4πrt << E (0) ≈ µc2 . From
this it is easy to obtain the criterion for macroscopic
tunneling:
2
1 − (ac2 /GM ) << 4πµM/MP2 l .
(23)

It 2can be satisfied easily for
ac → GM or macroscopic µM > MP2 l back holes.

appear for µM 63 MP2 l if l ≫ 1 (quasiclassical
limit). Such a criterion for the Kerr metrics it is still
unknown. The extremely rotating Kerr BH were examined in Gaina and Zaslavskii (1992). It was shown
that the marginally stable corotating orbit is dumped
for Klein-Gordon particles.
31
A. B. GAINA
However, it is known (Gaina, 1989a) that the spectrum (24) is a good approximation also for Kerr metric if
1
µM << l + .
(25)
2
So, one could expect that the criterion for the
existence of a 2P and 3D quasibound levels is roughly
the same as for a Shwarzshild BH.
4. ELEMENTARY PARTICLES AND
THE MASSES RANGES FOR BOSE
INSTABILITY
Assuming µM ≈ 0.45 one derives from eq.
(18) the minimal dumping time of the angular momentum for an extremely rotating BH:
τJ(min) = 5.7 · 104 µ−1 ln
M
MP l
.
(26)
By taking into account the time life of the
most of mesons τL < 10−8 one obtains that boson instability cannot develop for BHs with masses
M > 5MP2 l /µπ = 3.8 · 1016 g. If we assume, however, that boson instability occurs for neutrino pairs
(assuming the neutrino to have mass) with a characteristic time determined by equation (26), we obtain
an upper limit on the mass of a BH subjected to boson instability: M < 2.4 · 1023 g. For known bosons
the masses ranges for black holes subjected to Bose
instability are given in Table 1.
It is easy to see that the bosonic instability
cannot develop for η -meson, W ± and Z 0 due to very
short lifetime. On the other hand one should give a
rigorous treatment of η decay near the horizon of the
black hole which could warrant our expectations for
accumulations of η mesons. One must take into account also that estimations for the upper limit mass
of the BH subjected to vector instability were made
on the basis of scalar equation and the actual value
of the τJ may be less for W ± and Z 0 .

5. STOPPING THE INSTABILITY FOR
ELECTRICALLY CHARGED PARTICLES.
ELECTROMAGNETIC TRANSITIONS
AND PHOTOIONIZATION
Of course, we do not take into account the annihilation of π ± , K ± , D± and F ± during their generation and accumulation near the Black Hole. Particles of opposite charges may annihilate rapidly during their generation. But one must take into account
the influence of a strong gravitational field near the
horizon of a black hole.
Let us assume that electrically charged particles and their antiparticles could accumulate on
quasilevels, for instance, on 2P quasibound level in

the field of an highly rotating BH (a → M ) of mass
M 0.45MP2 l /µ , i.e. near the upper limit of Bose
instability. In this case one has 3 processes which
can stop the instability: i) electromagnetic transitions 2p → 1s, or other transitions on nonsuperradiative levels; ii) annihilation of particles into two fotons
(π + + π − → 2γ, K + + K − → 2γ, and so ones) ;
iii) photoionization of bound levels by the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the BH itself.
The equation which governs the number of
particles on 2P level is:

=λ2p (N2p + 1) − W2p→1s N2p −

Wann N2p − Wion N2p

(27)
BOSE INSTABILITY IN KERR BLACK HOLES
It is not difficult to calculate the probability
of normal dipole transitions 2p → 1s in the field
of a such black hole assuming, that a hydrogenlike
spectrum of bound states is realized. One could note
that there are also anomalous transitions with △m =
0 which may have the same order of magnitude in
the field of an extremely rotating BH (Chizov and
Myshenkov, 1991) but we do not examine here such
transitions. The probability W2p→1s will be:
2

W2p→1s =
αµ(µM )4 .
(28)
Transitions (28) impose further restraints on
the masses of BH’s supposed to Bose instability:

that is the actual low limit mass for instability will

The total cross section of annihilation of particles of opposite charges on the quasilevels may be
also very easily estimated in the nonrelativistic limit:

Akhiezer and Berestetsky (1981) give an exact
formula for the cross section of ionization of 2P atomic levels. In the case of N 2P electrons one has:

one has:

(35)
81π
For N2p particles localized on 2P level this formula
must be multiplied by N2p. Thus, photoionization
is slow compared with dipole transitions for small
occupation numbers, but may suppress the last ones
for great N2p . It is easy to estimate the number of
particles on the 2P level after the photoionization
ignoring the dipole transitions and annihilation of
pairs. The equation (29) will have the form:
(ion)
W2p
=
dN2p

(µM ≈ 0, 45) one derives
In the limit h̄ω ≫ Irp one has approximately:
σ2p ≃
where
(31)
An important feature of the cross section (31)
is the dependence of the rate of ionization on the
number of particles on the level.
Let us calculate now the probability of ionization of one electrically charged 2P scalar particle by
electromagnetic radiation emitted by the BH itself
as a result of superradiance. The probability will be:

So, photoionization stops efficiently Bose instability for electrically charged mesons π ± , K ± ,

6. CONCLUSIONS
From the Table 1 it is easy to see that the
bosonic instability cannot develop for η -meson, W ±
and Z 0 due to very short lifetime. On the other hand
one should give a rigorous treatment of η decay near
the horizon of the black hole which could warrant
our expectations for accumulations of η mesons.
One must take into account also that estimations for
the upper limit mass of the BH subjected to vector
instability were made on the basis of scalar equation
and the actual value of the τJ may be less for W ±
and Z 0 .

Self stimulated generation and accumulation
of bosons in the field of highly rotating black holes
(Bose instability) is an efficient mechanism of dropping of angular momentum for primordial black holes. Electrically charged particles cannot accumulate
near the black hole due to electromagnetic transitions, annihilations and photoionization. But π 0 , D0 ,
K 0 could rapidly accumulate near black holes and
produce after γ bursts of powers:

that is ≃ 9, 5 · 1051 erg/s (for π 0 ), 2.9·1052 egr/s (for

the threeshold of instability (i.e. µM ≈ 0.45MP2 l).
This corresponds to effective masses of radiated energies: 133M t (for D0 ). The energies of γ-photons
radiated will be 67,5 M ev (for π 0 ), 274, 5M ev (for
